POSITION OVERVIEW
We are seeking a Materials Planner to join our rapidly growing team. This role is critical in planning and ensuring material readiness across optical transceiver, silicon photonics, and related manufacturing operations that support our next-generation photonics products.
You will be responsible for demand, supply, and fulfillment planning within MRP, maintaining accurate bills of material and master data in ERP, and ensuring timely release of purchase planning signals and work orders to support optical module, transceiver, and silicon photonics builds. The ideal candidate will partner closely with procurement, manufacturing, engineering, quality, and inventory control teams to manage material availability, support engineering change activity, and provide clear visibility into shortages, line of balance, and build readiness. This is a highly visible role with direct impact on production continuity, inventory health, and on-time delivery.
